Princess Alice, Countess Athlone, is planning to spend part, At least of the London season with her daughter, Lady May Cambridge (says the Sunday Chronicle."

Lady May is twenty-one this month, and the too-knowing folk will. I suppose, again get busy with her matrimonial affairs. ' This jolly,' laughter-loving girl is one of the Queen's favourite nieces, and like her cousin, Princess Mary, is well trained in things domestic.

Those who know the Prince of Wales best realise how deeply he is interested in agriculture and farme ing generally, so that his latest purchase of a small farm of about a hundred and twenty acres near Nottingham comes as no surprise (uys the "Sunday Chronicle.") His other farm at the little village of Stoke Climsland, gn the fringe of Dartmoor, is a very paying invest- ment indeed, just now, and his herd of shorthorn cattle there

The Duchess of York will wear during her Australian tour one hat| that is trimmed at the side - with shell Bowers which will not tarnish and which no rain 'will spoil (says) the "Sunday Express.") For some time Lady Susan Birch has endes- voured to introduce this dainty shellwork into use; it lends itself best to floral decorations, but there Is no reason why it should not prove admirable as a hat trimming.

According to current gossip about the Court, the King is contemplat- ing clevating his son-in-law, Vis-" count Lascellos, to the House of Lords as a peer in his own right| (snya the "Sunday Chronicle.") This will involve no change in elther Lord Lascelles's rank or title, but the title will become art actual one, instead of merely one of courtesy as at prosent. It is, Lof course, nothing upcommon for father and son to sit in the House of Lords at the same time, as will then be the case:
